Cars, Cars, Cars!

I didn't take any photos at the Concours d'Elegance so I snagged a few from Jeff just to show you the kinds of things we saw.  In addition to the cars from collections, all the major car manufacturers had areas where they were showing off their new models.  I enjoyed that because those are actually cars one could buy... not million dollar collectible cars.  They also had free coffee, wine and snacks.  Here's a car that I thought looked like something out of Batman.  It's a Lamborghini and it goes from 0- 62 mph in 2.5 seconds, Jeff tells me.

This next car is a Hennessey Venom GT Spyder.  They are only making 29 of them.  Steven Tyler has ordered one.  Guess he can thank American Idol for that!

There were lots of antique cars and many had famous histories.  Royalty from India were in attendance with their cars and one was used by Queen Elizabeth.  They had a restored car that cowboy star Tom Mix died in.  This one caught my eye with it's elaborate snake horn.

There were events all over the Monterey Peninsula and many fabulous cars were parked on Ocean Avenue, the main street that goes down to the ocean in Carmel.  Here's a beautiful Jaguar that was getting a lot of attention.

I really have to write about the fabulous dinners we had while in Carmel.  I guess I'll save that for tomorrow.
